Week 8

What a fun class we had, debating over majority rule and minority rights! You guys did great, and we were so impressed to see you really listening to each other and questioning each other's positions! You can look forward to doing more debates in class!

We also learned last week about the structure and importance of strong local government. I hope you all will feel the desire to become more involved--whether in your neighborhood or HOA, or your city or county councils. Even kids--you--can get involved and make a difference in your own community!

This week's assignments:

• Opinion Paper: NONE...unless you are behind, then this is a good week to catch up!

• Constitution Journal: Amendments 11-17 (again, with no opinion paper, use this week to catch up on your journaling if you've fallen behind.)

• Reading: Finish The Great Little Madison, and come prepared with a question or two for book discussion this Thursday

• Research: Make sure you are doing some light research on your Hero Report, and not leaving it all until the last minute:

 ALL PAPERS ARE DUE APRIL 14th!

 

The Presentation schedule is as follows:

 

• 4/14 - Emma, Zachary
• 4/21 - Zane, Tillie
• 4/28 - Eliana, Hannah
• 5/5 - Micah
• 5/12 - Gabe, Ethan

We expect great reports and presentations from you all, because we've seen what you can do, and we know what you are capable of! Happy studying!
